ATTORNEY AT LAW, P.C.
LEE RUDNICKI - EXECUTIVE PROFILE
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I CAN CLOSE ANY DEAL, LEAVING ALL PARTIES FEELING RESPECTED AND EXCITED ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER WHEN NEGOTIATIONS ARE COMPLETE.
My clientele ranges from Emmy winning producers and major studio film executives, to first-time filmmakers who have never shot a scene before. If you need quality legal counsel at your side, call me.
"I'm a creative transactional entertainment attorney with over 20 years of experience and an expert contract negotiator. I offer a wide range of legal services in transactions in connection with the development, production or exploitation of music, film, television, and videogames. If you need entertainment counsel, please visit the contact page and let's chat."
I have two goals in drafting every contract; (i) to protect you legally; and (ii) to make you as much money from the transaction as possible. My contacts will enable your business to thrive; they have been used by film studios all over the words and to secure millions of dollars in financing for various live action and animation projects.
